IMPROVED DOUGH-KNEADER, MEAT-POUNDER, SLG.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 56,091, dated July 3,1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILANDER PERRY, of Charlestown, Middlesex county,State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Machine for thePurpose of Kneading Dough and Performing other Processes, hereinmentioned; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full andexact description of the same, taken in connection with the accompanyingdrawings, with letters of reference marked thereon, which together formmy specification.

The nature of my machine is an arrangement of a platform with, at oneend, a standing pillar, from which proceeds a lever supported by ablock. The under side of this lever is slotted or dovetailed, by whichmeans th ere is held underneath, first, a tool for pounding meat to makeit more tender; second, a tool for mashing potatoes; third, a tool forchopping up meat, 8vo.; fourth, a tool for rolling crust or pastry;fifth, a tool for kneading dough.

In the drawings annexed, Figure 1, Plate I, is a side view of themachine, with a view of the beef-tenderingtool. Fig. 2, Plate I, is aview of the machine from the top. Fig. 1X, Plate I, is a section of partof Fig. 1 (the lever) at the line A A. Fig. 3, Plate II, is a side viewof the machine for mashing potatoes. Fig. 4, Plate II, is a- .side viewof the tool for chopping meat. Fig. 5, Plate II, is a side view of thetool for rolling pastry. Fig. 6, Plate II, is aside view of the tool forkneading dough. Fig. 7, Plate II, is an end view of the beef-tenderingtool. Fig. 8, Plate II, is an end view of Fig. 4.. Fig. 9, Plate lI, isan end View of Fig. 5. Fig. l() is an end View of Fig. 6.

In the drawings annexed, B B, Figs. l and 2, is a platform.- C, Fig. 1,is an upright round pillar having a shaft, D, Figs. 1 and 2, proceedingupward from its top, which shaft D has passing through it a peg or pin,E, Figs. 1 and 2.

F, Figs. l and 2, is a block shaped as seen in the drawings, and with ahole or bearing at one end, by means of which it is borne by the shaftD.

The block F has at Gr, Fig. 2, a tongue of a hinge, and at this pointthere is hinged to it a lever, H, Figs. l and 2, the same being held bythe pin I. This lever bears at the other end a handle, J, and has on itsunder side a slot or groove dovetailed in shape. (Seen in section inFig. 1X, Plate I.)

A spring, K, Fig. l, is secured to the under side of the block F bymeans of a screw, L.

Suspended to the under side of the lever H by means of the dovetailedgroove and its corresponding tenon is the tool M, called thebeef-tenderer.7 (Seen in end view in Fig. 7, Plate II.) This tool isarmed with teeth (sometimes made of iron galvanized or tinned) at thelower end, and is pressed down upon the meat placed on the platformbeneath it by means of the lever H.

N, Fig. 3, is the tool for mashing potatoes, and is formed like thepestlc of a mortar, having also a bar attached to it with a tenon ttinginto the dovetailed groove.

O, Figs. 4 and 8, is the tool for chopping up meat, Sto., and iscomposed of a metallic blade in the form of thc segment of a circle,held in the usual mode with a hand meat-chopper by a slab of woodrounded at the lower edge and furnished at top with a tenon to lit intothe dovetailed groove of the lever H.

P, Fig. 5, is a slab of wood furnished with a dovetailed tenon at top,and having two projections at the lower part, which projections hold aroller, Q. This tool is seen in end view at Fig. 9, and is used forrolling pastry.

R, Fig. 6, (seen in end view at Fig. 10,) isa slab of wood armed withthe dovetailed tenon at top, and with its lower edge cnt inscallops, asseen in Fig. 6, so as to present a series of knobs or bosses. This isthe tool for kneading dough.

I sometimes have two or more dovetailed slots in the under side of thelever H, and sometimes I use two or more of the above-described tools ata time.

What I claim herein as of my own invention, and desire to secure byLetters Patent,

1. The spring K, in combination with the jointed lever, pillar, andplatform, when constructed and used substantially as described.

2. The dovetailed groove, for the purpose of used substantially asdescribed.

holding the tools, in connection with the mov- I with the double-jointedlever7 pillar, and platable lever and platform, all constructed and Iform7 when constructed and used substantially i as described.

3. The Whole machine, being the combination of the above tools-' viz.,the beef teudererfpotato masher, meat-chopper, pastryroller, and dougli-kneader-or either of them,
